One of the good guys in the battle for celebrating America at 250 is PragerU, founded by the Jewish scholar and author Dennis Prager.

But a state senator from Omaha, Nebraska, might not agree. Last week, Machaela Cavanaugh, upset at seeing historical displays outside her office at the State Capitol building in Lincoln, tore them down. She claims she tried not to destroy them as she yanked them off the walls.

Her rationale for removing these things is that, supposedly, nothing should adorn the walls outside of those offices. Although she has since apologized, thankfully, the incident still provides an important teaching moment.

PragerU fits in this story because PragerU created “The Founders Museum” traveling exhibit on behalf of the White House in order to celebrate the 250th birthday of the nation.

These materials include images of key founding fathers and key founding documents, such as the Declaration of Independence, related to the birth of America.
